The Indiana Healthy Community (IHC) Initiative is a project of the Wellness Council of Indiana, which promotes a healthier Indiana, both in and out of the workplace. We’re proud to have been named one of IHC’s recognized healthy communities. And we’ve been working hard to meet the group’s eight key components. These build on our county’s resources, leadership, and community involvement to increase the quality of health and life in Hancock County.

The best way for healthy365 to serve our community is to understand its specific health issues. To that end, every three years we embark on a research initiative to assess the health needs of the Hancock County community and its residents. You may review the results from our 2017community needs assessment report. According to our 2017 report, the four key themes and the significant findings in this region are:

Community Perception of General Health Behaviors

Perception of Drug and Alcohol Use

Limited Access to Mental Health and Addictions Services

Perception of Tobacco and Nicotine Use

Get in on the action.
